The document discusses the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) reevaluating plans to export renewable energy-based electricity (green electricity) to Singapore. Minister Bahlil Lahadalia emphasizes that domestic needs for green electricity must be prioritized before considering exports. He mentions that the regulatory framework for electricity export falls under ESDM's jurisdiction and that national interests will be prioritized in their decisions.

The Minister does not oppose green electricity exports as a form of free trade but stresses that domestic consumption should be adequately met first. The discussion on export regulations includes considering national interests and potential partnerships, such as a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Singapore. However, no binding agreements have been made yet. Previously, Coordinating Minister Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan indicated that Indonesia plans to export 3 gigawatts of green electricity to Singapore, with the source being renewable energy plants in Riau. Singaporean authorities have shown interest in purchasing green electricity from Indonesia.
